William Emory Newton

1941 - 2019

I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness. II Tim. 4:7 William Emory Newton, 78, of Watson, LA, went to be with his Lord, Jesus Christ on Saturday, May 4, 2019 surrounded by his family. William served his country in the United States Army. He was co-owner of Newton Brothers Diesel Service in Watson.
